Rail, I think you mean PSM...we wouldn't want to throw DNatale off his game.

On that subject, what does it feel like to have PSM kick-in? I don't think I've had it happen to me yet, and I push pretty hard. Is that when you feel a little slip on the rear wheels and then not?

Maybe it's harder to do on a Boxster as opposed to Boxster S--I can get PSM to kick in pretty much at will--just throw the car into a corner and mash the throttle like a complete dummy. The back end will kick out nicely and then bam--engine shuts down/brakes pulse, dash PSM light flickers a bit and you're back on line.

Try taking a left turn across traffic into a parking lot sometime--do it a little hot and give the brakes a good poke as you're arcing around. Here comes PSM!!!!

Easy solution to your problem. Just let me know how much extra HP you want. I would stay with mayb 100hp extra as the maximum any more then that and you asking for it.

Buy a nitrous kit from NX and install it. They come with 35-50-75hp jets. I have had nitrous kits on my last 3 cars and they make a butt load of power. It will wipe the smile off a s/c boxster's face quite easily and he will have no idea what it was you did. He will notice your nice clear tail lights however lol..

I understand this isn't viable for most of you guys, I just threw it out there for a laugh. I really have had nitrous on 3 of my old cars and I'll tell you in my GTi with 150hp shot direct port it would mop the floor with a Corvette easily and my Talon (which doens't need it, 425 without nitrous) was nuts with a 50hp shot on race gas.
